=head1 NAME

HTTP::Request - HTTP style request message

=head1 VERSION

version 6.13

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 require HTTP::Request;
 $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://www.example.com/');

and usually used like this:

 $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
 $response = $ua->request($request);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<HTTP::Request> is a class encapsulating HTTP style requests,
consisting of a request line, some headers, and a content body. Note
that the LWP library uses HTTP style requests even for non-HTTP
protocols.  Instances of this class are usually passed to the
request() method of an C<LWP::UserAgent> object.

C<HTTP::Request> is a subclass of C<HTTP::Message> and therefore
inherits its methods.  The following additional methods are available:

=over 4

=item $r = HTTP::Request->new( $method, $uri )

=item $r = HTTP::Request->new( $method, $uri, $header )

=item $r = HTTP::Request->new( $method, $uri, $header, $content )

Constructs a new C<HTTP::Request> object describing a request on the
object $uri using method $method.  The $method argument must be a
string.  The $uri argument can be either a string, or a reference to a
C<URI> object.  The optional $header argument should be a reference to
an C<HTTP::Headers> object or a plain array reference of key/value
pairs.  The optional $content argument should be a string of bytes.

=item $r = HTTP::Request->parse( $str )

This constructs a new request object by parsing the given string.

=item $r->method

=item $r->method( $val )

This is used to get/set the method attribute.  The method should be a
short string like "GET", "HEAD", "PUT", "PATCH" or "POST".

=item $r->uri

=item $r->uri( $val )

This is used to get/set the uri attribute.  The $val can be a
reference to a URI object or a plain string.  If a string is given,
then it should be parsable as an absolute URI.

=item $r->header( $field )

=item $r->header( $field => $value )

This is used to get/set header values and it is inherited from
C<HTTP::Headers> via C<HTTP::Message>.  See L<HTTP::Headers> for
details and other similar methods that can be used to access the
headers.

=item $r->accept_decodable

This will set the C<Accept-Encoding> header to the list of encodings
that decoded_content() can decode.

=item $r->content

=item $r->content( $bytes )

This is used to get/set the content and it is inherited from the
C<HTTP::Message> base class.  See L<HTTP::Message> for details and
other methods that can be used to access the content.

Note that the content should be a string of bytes.  Strings in perl
can contain characters outside the range of a byte.  The C<Encode>
module can be used to turn such strings into a string of bytes.

=item $r->as_string

=item $r->as_string( $eol )

Method returning a textual representation of the request.
